Oppenheimer Oscar odds: movie is Academy Award favourite for Best Film, Actor, and Director after Baftas sweep

Oppenheimer was the clear Baftas winner on Sunday night, signalling more success at the Oscars in March. Christopher Nolan’s three hour epic war drama took seven gongs in all from 13 nominations.

The movie won the top award of the night - Best Film - as well as other prestigious prizes including Nolan’s first Bafta win for Best Director, Cillian Murphy’s first for Best Actor, and Robert Downey Jrs' first for Supporting Actor (he previously won the Best Actor gong in 1993 for Chaplin).

Oppenheimer also bagged awards for Original Score, Editing, and Cinematography, and with the most wins of the night (Poor Things took five awards and The Zone of Interest managed three, whilst Barbie returned none) it is the firm favourite going into the Oscars in March. 

What are the Oscar odds for Oppenheimer?

The Baftas are seen as a guide for what to expect from the Oscars and nine of the last 23 films to win the Bafta for Best Film went onto win Best Picture at the Oscars.
